The Wall Street Journal has called the Michigan Supreme
Court the “finest court in the land.” Chief Justice Taylor has served on the
Michigan Supreme Court for ten years, and will stand for re-election to
an eight-year term in November 2008.

Prior to being appointed to the Michigan
Supreme Court by former Governor John Engler, Chief Justice Taylor
served 5 years on the Michigan Court of Appeals. Chief Justice Taylor’s
professional activities include service on the Board of Directors of the
National Conference of Chief Justices, and on the Board of the George
Mason University Law and Economics Center which provides judicial
education across the country. He served in the past on the Michigan
Legislature’s Commission on the Courts in the 21st Century, and on the
Michigan State Board of Law Examiners. He is the co-author of a
three-volume work, "Torts," which covers personal injury law in
Michigan.
